No vision - we've sat idly by and watched Google and others gain entry into the consumer space. Instead of bringing in visionary management, we hire the CEO's friends to ride the coattails of the success built by our junior employees. This would be fine if we ended up with the best, hungriest candidates, but they have yet to show any progress. We have the same issues as two years ago. When you try to engage management to fix systemic issues, they have no interest. Our lack of engineering resources is a huge issue and is truly slowing innovation and efficiency. It has become a running joke that any good idea won't get worked on for 1-2 years. This kills the perk of working at a "small, nimble" company. We might as well be a massive org if you have to sit through 5 meetings to convince people that your project should get worked on. You can see this hurting morale as they are told they are "product managers" yet they are unable to control the timeline or functionality of their product.

Disorganized & lack of resources. The company was started to get away from the unhealthy environment of Microstrategy and build a new idea. Unfortunately, they keep importing more and more Microstrategy people who bring the culture with them. The most recent additions have thrown the technology teams into complete disarray. The long term people are mostly ignored and treated unfairly in favor of the new people. Most of the talk is how it *used* to be great and people *used* to be treated well. The company will very likely continue to do well, on the backs of the employees who are being pushed out.
